I will give you helpful steps...
1.Get a crush-
You ask how this will help?Well you will want to lose weight to most likely have a chance with them...good inspiration.
2.Restrict,restrict,restrict-
Cut back A LOT. Bread=no. Sweets=no. fries and hamburgers=NO. Instead of McDonalds...make yourself a salad, have an apple or some grapes. Fruit and veggies over everything. I really don't eat...megarly, i dont condone this.. Meat has nothing vegetables doesn't have...except GREASE and FAT.
3. Make a diary-
Make a diary of your weight loss, and your goals! This really helps. Put in some cute quotes...
4. Listen to music when Exersising-
This helps you work harder, if like... for instance, the "Milkshake" song comes on, and that's your fave song,and you are crunchin...u'll go faster...it's so good.
5. LIVE BY THIS FROM NOW ON-
~*~NO PAIN, NO GAIN~*~ when you crunch and your stomach hurts...don't give up, it is tightening your stomach, making you skinnier...and don't give into your hunger pains with a binge of cookies or last night's leftover pizza..try an apple. You won't lose... without PAIN.

meat has all of the protein veggies doesn't have- and also some types of meat like salmon and fish have good fat that doesn't make you fat but that your body will burn off because it needs it badly- it;s good for your brain and good for your body because you need a well rounded diet to truely be healthy...but i can understand having someone close you you be thina dn them getting a lot of the attention and just feeling akwards next to them in public. just do it! it'll take time thoug- don't set yourslef up for failure by believeing you'll see results the next day. and remember that the table can also turn in the future. your sister could become bigger when you're older and since you've already developed a healthy lifestyle you can help her when she wasn't there to heklp you(if that's the case) but good luck- you can do this if you really truely want to!
